    None alcoholic turmeric ginger cocktail

    If you are looking for a great bar in the local Topeka area to hang out with friends, this is the place for you. The staff is amazing! Friendly, knowledgeable, and innovative. Not only were they able to serve our table of 10 the drink of their choice but they were able to create a non alcoholic drink me on the spot. I enjoyed my time there. A plus is you can bring your dog!

    Happy Basset Brewing was a great treat. Great service and beer. We were there on a Harvest Host stay and enjoyed our time.

    Welp, I've never seen a hundred middle-aged white folks dancing to Poison until I walked into this unorthodox establishment, so there's that... We arrived while an 80s cover band was playing, but it was mostly hair metal, not 80s pop, and the crowd was loud and boisterous. We slid into some empty stools at the end of a communal table, but a couple came from the dance floor after a rousing rendition of "Fight for Your Right" and asked us to give them up; apparently they'd called dibs but left nothing there to indicate such. We waited for a couple seats to open up at the bar, and struggled to communicate with the bartender over the loud music. A few folks near the door and on the patio had brought dogs, but I wouldn't recommend it on 80s night; it's not exactly a laid-back vibe. Beer was okay, the place was understaffed, and the bartenders were uninterested in helping us. I'm not interested in going back.

    Happy Basset Brewing is one of the best dog friendly breweries I have ever been too. Besides the outdoor fenced in dog area which encloses the outside patio deck and a fireplace but don't forget about the corn hole game. The Owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly too. Make sure to save some appetite for Tim Miller's "Beyond Q" BBQ and other food samplings too. Everything was delicious, efficient, and "Happy"! Enjoy...

    Great Sunday brunch buffet with a fantastic mimosa flight and great red beers. The company wasn't too bad either. We love supporting local so when dogs are allowed, it makes the whole experience even better.

    Wednesday wings night! $10 for 6 smoked wings with Jerk Rub. Some of the best wings and beer in Topeka

    Great selection of beer with something for everyone. I enjoy the Stouts while my wife likes the Strawberry Blonde. Wednesday night they have meaty smoked wings.

    Here for the evening in Topeka and had to stop by a brewery with a dog mascot! I came to the 29th location because it was closest to my hotel. Honestly the bartender was super sweet, I sat at the bar alone, and the beer was very good for an IPA. I especially love $5 pints! I only gave it 4 stars because it was a little underwhelming. Maybe the other location is where most of the amazing reviews are from??

    What a fun spot! I wish they did more with their logo, some of the shirts aren't really worth buying. The beers are, though! Came here after eating some lunch and was pleasantly surprised with the beer selection. One of the more interesting beers was out but the secondary choice was fun & funky as well.

    If you are looking for some damn good bbq, check out the Happy Bassett Barrel House location (off of 49th). I tried this past weekend and was thoroughly impressed! I believe the full bbq menu is only offered on Saturdays as of now. Great locally brewed beer as well.

    Fantastic atmosphere! The beers are really good! This brewery is solidifying it's place in Topeka. They have everything from pale ales, NE IPA, AIPA, Weiss, brown ales, porters, etc... they are all really good. The environment is very clean with a kind of steampunk/rustic wood combination. They are pet friendly and the staff is really knowledgeable and nice. ASK ABOUT THE BEER OF THE MONTH! The growlers and Crowlers (AKA "Howlers") are very reasonably priced. The NE IPA is very floral and the Citra Pale Ale is top notch!!! I got crowlers of both before I left!! They also have beer and treats for dogs if they get thirsty while you're outside in the "patio" :) Absolutely love this place.

    I'm more of a whiskey guy. But it is a good place to go with co workers and have some fun and relaxing conversations.

The chicken however was like rubber. I ate half a small piece and put the rest to the side. My husband had the Pulled Pork platter which is normally good. The meat was really dry. I ate all the pasta and told our server about the chicken being like rubber and she stated that she's mentioned that exact thing to the cooks but that maybe if a customer complains they would possibly listen. What made me a little annoyed though was that I ate none of the chicken yet they didn't at least bump off a few bucks off my meal. The service was fine but I feel like over the years this has become my last choice versus my first choice.

In fact, I've never had issues with service and I've been there probably a dozen times in the past couple years at least. The food is so good (love the pretzel and beer cheese!) the meat in the dishes is always way more than you'd think, and the prices are also very reasonable for what you get. Honestly, probably undercharged a little. My husband and I even used them to cater our wedding a the food was phenomenal as always. The burnt ends were so freaking good! As for the food itself, AMAZING! Never had an issue with it, the quality is reliably consistent and haven't yet found something to dislike about it. The ambience is always nice and relaxed on a typical day. There is plenty of space and room for tables, so it never feels crowded. I think we've been there once on a game day, and it wasn't obnoxious or loud then either (like other bars get to be). Beautiful decor and art all around. It feels very welcoming and homey. If you're stopping through, this is probably the #1 place to go! Cannot recommend enough. I always recommend Iron Rail Brewing to friends and family who are stopping through too. *tip: because it is downtime, parking can be a little tricky at times, but there are usually a couple side streets with a few spots available.
